Artists and Revitalization Panel Discussion September 26, 2006

Artists and Revitalization Panel Discussion

Date: Tuesday, September 26th
Time: 7-9pm
Location: The Theatre Centre

Purpose of Panel:

- Discuss ways in which neighbourhood change can be sensitive to existing and incoming populations
- Learn from challenges and successes of practitioners in the field
- Understand artists’ housing “lifecycle” in a neighbourhood, from affordable living to possible displacement.
- How do we avoid the pattern of ‘gentrification’ or displacement of residents?

What will happen with information?

- Documentation of the panel will be published
- It is hoped this information will be a resource for residents, planners and others engaged in neighbourhood change
- The forum will also be a networking opportunity for panelists and audience members from the public, private and nonprofit sectors

With Susan Serran (Artscape), Adrian Blackwell (artist/architect), Christina Zeidler (Gladstone Hotel), Ulysses Castellanos (artist) and Dr. David Hulchanski (Centre for Urban and Community Studies - U of T). Moderated by Rebecca Ward
